Walker Specialties, Inc.

Walker Specialties, Inc. is a Braintree shop that manufactures its own window shades and theatrical stage curtains, then installs them with union carpenters for schools, theaters, and offices across New England. By its own account, the company traces back to 1957, when it operated as Walker Incorporated, before taking the Walker Specialties name in 1997. There isn't an independent review history to point to yet — no Google, Angi, or BBB customer reviews turned up. BBB has a file on the company noting 19 years in business, but that timeline doesn't quite square with the company's own founding story, and the bureau says it doesn't have enough information to issue a rating and doesn't list Walker Specialties as accredited. With the available picture built mostly from the company's own site, it's worth asking to see completed work directly — the Hingham Elementary School job the company names on its site is the only concrete project it points to, so anyone considering them for a stage curtain or custom shade project would do well to ask for more examples and references before booking.
